PREFACE. 



More or less dissatisfaction with our Materia Medica 
exists on all sides. The fact that our remedies possess many 
symptoms and conditions in common, renders it a task of no 
small magnitude to elucidate in each instance those symptoms 
and conditions that are of the greatest importance and re- 
member them, and at the same time retain the general sphere 
of action of each drug. A practical, simple, and salient 
work is desired by many — a work that is truly practical and 
yet reliable in every detail. It has been my effort to furnish 
this. How well I have succeeded, will, of course, be quickly 
determined. 

The method of presentation of each remedy is in accord- 
ance with the most certain method of selecting the remedy, 
and not at variance with the instructions of our revered 
founder, when their full import is understood. I have 
included the remedies, at present used, of the Materia Medica 
Pura and Chronic Diseases, together with a brief explanation 
of the treatment of chronic diseases ; and have presented, in 
addition, a few more than one hundred remedies that have 
been introduced since Hahnemann's day — remedies that have 
stood the test of time and experience, and whose therapy is, 
consequently, sharply defined. In the compilation of the 
manuscript, especial acknowledgment is made to Hahne- 
mann's Materia Medica Pura and Chronic Diseases, Hull's 
Jahr, Symptomatology, Cowperthwaite's Text-Book of Materia 
Medica, Hughes' Pharmacodynamics, Heinigke's Pathoge-

netic Outlines of Drugs, and Burt's Physiological Materia 
Medica. The manner of arrangement being new, it has been 
deemed advisable to insert an explanation : this is given in 
the following pages, under the title, " Instructions for Using 
this Work." 

In the hope that this little manual will meet the demand 
for a simple and salient presentation of the majority of our 
most important remedies, it is now submitted to the judg- 
ment of the profession.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THIS WORK, 



The failures which attend our efforts at applying the law of 
cure are often due to an improper interpretation of the relative 
value of symptoms. We know that the " temperaments," so 
termed, of the remedies are particularly important. In the 
arrangement of the remedies in this work, it will be seen that this 
word " temperament " includes all conditions of age, sex, con- 
stitution, hereditary or acquired diathesis or circumstances which 
render a person more susceptible to the action of a given remedy 
than another person under different conditions. In giving the 
location and nature of each drug, the structure or portion of the 
body affected is first named, then the general pathological condition 
stated, and following this, inclosed in parentheses, are the character- 
istic symptoms. The directions UDder the heading, " Adminis- 
tration," are not, of course, intended to be absolute. These di- 
rections are valuable in that they present the range of potency 
and the form of any given remedy, which reliable recorded clin- 
ical experience has demonstrated to be most effective. The re- 
maining headings are sufficiently clear. By studying drugs by 
means of these headings the salient features are fastened in the 
mind with comparative ease ; and a method of rapid and accurate 
prescribing is reached, because vague and undefined generalities, 
as well as confusing minutiae, which too often serve to obscure our 
efforts, are done away with. Suppose a patient before us, we note 
at a glance the " temperament ;" by comparatively few inquiries 
we learn the location and nature of abnormal sensations ; note 
objective symptoms, and immediately look for the cause of the 
vii

condition for which we are consulted. This is the most direct 
and natural method of investigating a case, although in some 
acute cases, the " totality of symptoms " is presented to the mind 
without the necessity for scarcely an inquiry. Now, proceeding 
further, we can often learn by a few questions the "general 
characteristic " symptoms (those that are persistent — not sympa- 
thetic and fluctuating — and all the more important if they ante- 
date any established lesion or condition), and conclude our 
choice of the remedy by the modalities. This is the manner in 
which each drug is presented ; hence, the rapid and accurate com- 
parison of drug disease with natural disease which is hereby fur- 
nished. By referring to the " Clinical Index " it will be compara- 
tively easy to " individualize " in any disease by looking up each 
remedy indicated by the index. 

It is, of course, true that nothing can take the place of study of 
provings ; yet, while it is not intended that this work will do away 
with careful repertory work in cases where that is demanded, it is 
believed that this simple and direct method is within the ability 
of the average practitioner's memory, as only the most prominent 
and peculiar features of each remedy are presented.

HAHNEMANN S REMEDIES 



CHRONIC DISEASES. 



The following forty-seven remedies were designated by Hahne- 
mann as " antipsoric " remedies. Whether the theories of Hahne- 
mann concerning the origin and development of " psora " are 
accepted or rejected, it has been demonstrated by clinical 
experience that the following remedies are particularly applicable 
to what might be termed, at the present time, dyscratic conditions 
or pathological states the outgrowth of dyscrasise. I would 
especially call attention to the significance of the " temperaments " 
of many of these remedies as being particularly important, for they 
are the objective expression of the individuality of a chronic case, 
and a true grasp of them greatly aids a rapid analysis from a 
therapeutic point of view :
